Foly art resurch

 Jack Foly

Jack was born in York ville, N.Y. in 1891, and was raised in the Seagate section of Coney Island.he was the inventor of many types of sound effects used in films and TV shows, which are still used today. Almost overnight, sound was introduced. In the forefront was Warner Brothers with its Vita phone recording system. In the wings, Western Electric was readying it's photographic system. and he was the inventor of the art called Foly art.

 but what is foly art 

A Foley Artist 'recreates' sound effects for film, television and radio productions on a Foley Stage in a  post production studio.

 

Using many different kinds of shoes and lots of props - car fenders, plates, glasses, chairs, and just about anything I find at the side of the road - the Foley Artist can replace original sound completely or augment existing sounds to create a richer track.
